Chapter 264: Summons

Needless to say, Shangjing is densely populated, dividing the east and west cities into a river, and the east city is more dependent on the imperial city, which is basically inhabited by the families of powerful officials and gentry, with high mansions and scales, while the west city is mostly merchants and ordinary people, and it is really a heaven and a land, and there is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor.

But no matter how poor Xicheng is, compared to Changping, it is still much more prosperous, in the end it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this slipping away shop, there are countless of them, of course, Xicheng is not cheap, Dongcheng is even more expensive.

After entering the city, Qin Ruwei didn't dare to stab the curtain of the car and look out, so she just looked at the excitement outside through a trace of the curtain.

"The county lord is not in a hurry at this time, when you settle down, you will go out every day." Seeing the curiosity on her face, Mama Gong couldn't help but smile.

Qin Ruwei smiled and said, "How tiring it is to go there every day, it's just a matter of being fresh for a while." ”

Yang Liu sat upright on the side, not daring to interject, although he had already counted it in his heart, but when he heard the word county lord from the mouth of the palace grandmother, he still couldn't help but be frightened, and Qin Ruwei's eyes were as bright as a pearl.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Mama Gong smiled: "It's time to arrive." ”

While talking, someone walked to the front of the car and said, "Young lady, the East Palace has arrived." ”

Yang Liu got the approval of Mama Gong, lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage first, put down the pedals, and carefully helped Mama Gong and Qin Ruwei get out of the car.

In front of the eye, it is a vermilion high gate, two majestic stone unicorns are guarding the town house on both sides of the door, and two rows of housekeepers are lined up in two rows in a regular manner, waiting to see the courtesy.

The East Palace was originally located in the imperial city, only because of the rebellion of the prince won by the previous dynasty, and later the East Palace was set up outside the imperial city, but it was also extremely close to the imperial palace, and it took only a quarter of an hour to take the carriage to the Zhuhua Gate of the imperial palace.

It stands to reason that Nioh has asked to be deposed and should move out of the East Palace. It's just that when he was named King Ren, there was no suitable house for King Ren at that time, and he almost moved his family to Hezhou to recuperate, so the emperor never gave the house as a palace, and the family of King Ren continued to live in the East Palace.

Of course, Nioh is not the crown prince but lives in the East Palace, and it is not that there is no impeachment of the imperial history, and the upper performance of the Ministry of Rites is just that the emperor dismissed it on the grounds that the treasury was empty and extravagant, and there was no suitable house, which also made many people secretly think to themselves, even if Nioh asked to be deposed, he was still the proud son of the emperor, and it also made more family officials wait and see, so as not to stand in line too early and make the wrong side.

Qin Ruwei followed Princess Ren into Beijing together, and she would never live in the inn, so she followed her to the East Palace as a guest and lived here temporarily.

Princess Ren had already been helped out of the carriage by the maids, and everyone knelt down in unison to salute and greet her, and Princess Ren also called.

Because there were a lot of people who went to the fiefdom with her, there were not many people left to guard the house, Princess Ren raised her hand, and Qin Ruwei walked to her side.

"This is Mrs. Zhuang, who will temporarily live in the house in the near future." Princess Ren introduced Qin Ruwei to one or two, and said to her: "This way back is a car and a boat, let's rest for two days, and when you have taken a breath, we will take you to see the scenery of Beijing." ”

Qin Ruwei has no reason to be unreasonable, and besides, she is really tired.

The group entered the East Palace and did not mention it, and the scene of Princess Ren's return also left a lot of ears and eyes, and they reported to their masters at the moment, each with their own thoughts.

For two days in a row, Qin Ruwei stayed in the East Palace, either playing the East Palace idlely, or laughing with Princess Ren, and rested fiercely for two days before she really regained her spirits.

Although the East Palace is not as large and gorgeous as the palace annex in Hezhou, it is also extremely luxurious, especially the Bali Lotus Pond on that side is even quieter. It's February now, although it's still cold in Beijing, but the snow has melted, and the lotus in the pond has also given birth to leaves, floating on the water, exuding a faint fragrance, thinking that when the summer lotus blooms in June, this is a beautiful scenery again.

"I think back then, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess liked this lotus pond the most, and in the hot summer, she always had to go here with her horse to paint and enjoy the flowers." Mama Gong looked at the lotus leaves floating on the water, and said with nostalgia: "The county lord doesn't know, although your father is a military general, but he is a good painter, he painted a lot of portraits for the eldest princess, I still remember, there is a painting in this lotus pond, your mother holds a lotus flower, sitting in the pavilion, looking into the distance." ”

Qin Ruwei looked at the position pointed by Mama Gong, the pavilion had already been repaired countless times, but she seemed to see a beautiful woman sitting in it, smiling brightly and satisfied.

"I rarely see a portrait of my mother, but I saw one from Nioh's brother, and it is the one I have now." Qin Ruwei said.

Mama Gong's expression was mournful, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "I don't have it either, maybe the fire back then has burned everything out." ”

Qin Ruwei mourned in her heart, as if comforting herself and comforting her: "Mother always lives in the hearts of my grandmother and me. ”

Mama Gong wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Look at what I'm doing, the county lord will come back this time, and I will soon be able to go to the princess and the horse to pay respects, and let the princess see you, you have grown up and married, and the princess and the horse should be blind." ”

Qin Ruwei snorted, thought about it and said, "Mama, now that my identity is unknown, you should call me Miss, so as not to cause trouble when people hear about it." ”

Mama Gong was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "I don't know when the emperor will summon you!" ”

Qin Ruwei was silent, looking into the distance, the lotus leaves in that pool were slightly blown by the wind.

As soon as she entered Beijing, the emperor had already received the news, as for why she hadn't seen it, she was either waiting and watching, or she was waiting for the time of the concubine.

She was not wrong, Emperor Shunjing had indeed received the news that she had entered Beijing.

At this time, the inner court of the palace, the health palace.

Emperor Shunjing stood behind the desk, intently writing on the rice paper on the table, without looking at the gray-clothed man kneeling on the ground, and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is true that the eldest princess is seven or eight points similar, and the grandmother who served by the eldest princess's side was also serving by her side." The man in gray replied respectfully.

"Oh?" The wolf in Emperor Shunjing's hand paused and looked over: "Really? ”

"Slaves don't dare to deceive the emperor." The gray-clothed man had his head bowed.

"Well, there you go." Emperor Shunjing said lightly.

The man in gray answered, and his figure flashed and went down.

The huge health hall was quiet, Emperor Shunjing's hands did not stop, and the personal eunuch Mr. An stood quietly on the side and served, and he could hear the needle when it landed.

Emperor Shunjing finally put down the brush in his hand, took the handkerchief handed over by Gonggong An and wiped his hands, and said: "Gonggong An, you said that the eldest princess, do you complain?" ”

Gonggong An's heart jumped, and he said: "The emperor is the honor of a country, and he is the true dragon son of heaven, dedicated to the country and the people, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is also the governor and sensible, how can you blame the emperor?" ”

"Yes, this royal sister is the most polite governor and smart and quick-witted, but because of this, I have caused her to lose her face and separate her flesh and blood." Emperor Shunjing sighed and said, "Do you remember when Gonggong An was seven years old?" ”

Gonggong An has been serving by Emperor Shunjing's side since he was a child, so he naturally knows about him, thought about it for a while, and said carefully: "The emperor said that he was wronged by King Gong in the year?" ”

Emperor Shunjing nodded, and said: "I am not from a high background, my biological mother is weak, and my mother family has a lot of hope, there are already three royal brothers on my head, and everyone in the peasant family has something to say, for the son is either the eldest son or the youngest son, and the middle is the most unfavorable, and I am like this." ”

He has several royal brothers on his head, and his mother family is not obvious, how can he be born to make the emperor so happy, so he, the fourth prince, is really the most unfavored one.

Gonggong An was silent, thinking of the past and feeling relatable.

"That year, the eldest brother wronged me for breaking the paperweight that my father rewarded him, and my mother couldn't help me at all, so she could only force me to apologize to the eldest brother. She clearly knew that the paperweight was broken by the imperial brother himself, and she was only afraid that her father would ask for guilt, so she was wronged on me. Emperor Shunjing recalled: "I am unwilling, just because the imperial brother and mother family are prominent, they should take me to blame, and I am naturally resentful and unwilling." ”

"It's ridiculous to think about it, I am a prince, but I am not as favored as a princess, the eldest princess is the first princess of my father, but I am three months old, my father's favor for her is far more than that of our princes, too, there are several sons, the first princess, how can she not be favored? Father-in-law An, do you remember, I hid behind the rockery in the plum garden and cried after I was complained, what did the eldest princess say? ”

Gonggong An was surprised, his slightly old eyes narrowed, and he vaguely remembered the domineering words of the beautiful little man.

"What's the use of crying, if you want not to be wronged, if you want everyone not to dare to wronged you, then you have to be angry, you have to be promising, and you have to be like your father." Emperor Shunjing muttered: "Only when you sit on that throne, everyone can only look up to you." ”

But isn't it, that is also only a seven-year-old villain, but he has such a mind, and since then, he has ambition in his heart, so he endured it, endured it, hit it with one blow, and won the dragon throne, since then, no one dares to wronged him, dare not look down on him, he gave an order, that is, the head fell to the ground, and the corpse was thousands of miles away.

He has today, and he also has the credit of the eldest princess, she is indeed smart and clever enough, behind her back, a lot of words for him in front of his father, but it is also because of him that she ended up like that.

"I can't stand her after all." Thinking of the scene before the eldest princess died, Emperor Shunjing sighed, glanced at the words on the rice paper on the table, and said, "I haven't seen Rui'er's girl for some days, pass on the will, let Princess Ren bring that girl to me to say goodbye." Take that girl with you, too, I want to see if she really has the style of a mother. After Emperor Shunjing finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the apse.

Father-in-law An hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he glanced at the desk, and the two dragons and phoenixes dancing on it had two big characters written on them - Minghui. R1154
